Marie "I wear your love"

This movie is about our wonderful friend Marie. She died on May 2, 2009. She was 55-years-old. Marie was a keystone in many lives. You could tell her something and know it would never get retold. She accepted and loved people for who they were. She was a friend you could depend on. She was a safe harbor in a storm. She was selfless, loving and kind. She was stoic and strong but soft and tender hearted. She had an inner beauty that radiated. I have never known anybody who did not like Marie. She was the kind of person people would call and talk to for hours about the troubles in their lives. I know I did. Yet, she seldom would complain about troubles in her life.

In December 2005 Marie's sister Martha died in a freak auto accident. It was one of the worst times in her life. It was terrible. It was not her first sudden loss. Marie was a good friend of my first wife and was the first person I called when my first wife was killed in a car accident.

Marie was a cancer survivor. Her strength got her through this and other awful times in her life.
I hope in the video I captured a hint of the love and admiration I have to this day for Marie. She was an inspiration.

Marie's husband Kirk is a gentle loving man and last year they celebrated 25 years together.
If you believe there is a God, this is a time of reunion for Marie; reunion with old friends and family. It is a time of grieving and loss for us and a cause of hope for me. I already miss her terribly and I hope somewhere, somehow, to see her again. Until then, she lives on in many, many hearts.

Two years ago today Marie, one of the nicest people ever and my dear, dear friend died. I made this video about her for her friends and family. To remember her...

Appreciate the posting. Thx. Only video I found of this wonderful song.

I was looking for a version of this song for a former girlfriend, now my wife! This song makes me cry when I feel the love for my wife, no small feet for this "old tough guy." I'm sure Marie still fills your heart also!

I didn't know Marie. I was looking for a video/live version of Kathy Mattea performing her song and I stumbled upon this beautiful tribute. I am deeply moved by the love of Marie, all who loved her and finally the work that went into putting this tribute together. I can't think of a better song to thread it all together and I shed tears of grief, understanding and joy for Marie and all of you.

You captured it perfectly.

Marie will be missed dearly! She was like a second mother to my husband Tobe (her nephew) and she will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Oh my goodness! Marie has always been the most fantastic mother and grandmother. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers, most importantly, the kids need someone to lean on!
